The girl does not let this male move around her back, she follows him, keeping herself calm she knows as well as they all do that if they fought she and Blind Steer would lose. What do you mean spirits? what is this word? she asks confused.

Dropping his butt to the ground, Stalks sits up. He looks carefully at this girl assessing her, intelligence? "Everything around us has a life of its own. This tree, that rock, the air itself. They are all alive. The things that make them that way are the spirits. If you can imagine....without your spirit" he reaches out slowly to lightly pinch her arm "this would just be lifeless flesh, like a deer after your pack has hunted and killed it. The deer's spirit has left its body, all that remains is the flesh for your pack to eat."
He sits waiting for the next question he knows is coming and hoping that the great spirit of nature will stay with him long enough to keep talking with her.

she Growls at him for touching her, just a light warning, then shakes and scratches Blind Steer, "this Spirit, I know this leaving feeling, When we lose a pack mate, its very quiet after there gone. Is that what you mean?" she relaxes against the wolf at her side.

He thinks for a moment "Yes I suppose that is one way to understand it. If I have enough time to meditate and something shiny to use then I can actually take you into the Umbra so you can see the spirits for yourself. But I think that would be too much of a jump for us right now. There is still too much for us to learn about each other. What are your names?" As he asks this question his body begins to shift and shrink back to his human form.

As this males body begins to change again both the girl and Blind Steer jump back, she produces a small dagger from behind her and stands in a defensive position while Blind Steer, hackles raised, watches intently. Neither of them making a move of aggression or submission, her eyes dart from him to the forest around her keeping all escape routes in her line of sight. The male makes no move to attack, she does not smell any aggression or danger from him and Blind Steer is the first to relax, he plops himself to his butt and sneezes. The girl takes this a as good sign and moves out of her guarded stance. The dagger she slips back behind her back and she sits. " I am Blind Steer, and this, this is Fire Born." the wolf looks to the male. The girl nudges the wolf and begins pulling mattes out of his fur.

Having now returned to his human form, Stalks watches the girl intently. She doesn't move like a human, but not like a wolf either. "It is a pleasure to meet you both. I assume there are more then the two of you. I assure you I have no intention of harming your pack. In fact, while I am in the area I will do all I can to make sure you are all protected and have plenty of food. Wolves are becoming far to scarce the world over and they are needed to help maintain the balance."

She looked at the male and crawls over to him slowly sniffing, "you're not from around here. We can hunt and fight and protect our own pack. she nudges him over

As he begins to fall back he laughs and reaches out to pull Fire Born over with him. "I never said you could not take care of your own, I just said that I will help."

Blind Steer growls low and his ears go up, "you are the first creature to come across the mountains since I have been alive. " The girl sits up and rolls over to the wolf's side. "same for me brother. I have never seen anything like him before. "

Stalks sat up and looked Blind Steer in the eyes. "I may be the first you have seen or smelled but it is a large world out there. Surely you did not think you were the only ones here."

"we do not care what goes on across the mountains, if others want to come into our lands they are welcome to, as long as there is no trouble." suddenly there is a howl in the distance and both of them look up. "we must go sister." and they both get up to leave, the girl looks back and tilts her head, "you staying here?" she asks the male.

"If I am welcome I would prefer to come with you." His shape begins to shift again. This time he does not grow. His clothing seems to be absorbed into his skin as fur grows and covers them. His legs shift as his pelvis turns forward. His fingers receed into his hands as they become paws. Even his staff send to vanish under the think fur. Within seconds a large dark furred wolf stands before them.

She looks back in the direction of the howl and then back to the male, she is caught by surprise of another wolf sitting where he used to be. she shakes her whole body like a wolf would to get water off her pelt, "No. you stay here.She does not want him anywhere near the pups until Red Tail, the alpha's mate, has given the permission. In the distance they all hear another beckoning call on the wind and the two turn and disappear into the brush like ghosts.

Stalks Alone was once again alone. His ears twitched and rotated, listening to the howls and all the other sounds of the forest. Slowly he moved to where she had been sitting and breathed in deeply her scent. He wanted to make sure he remember it clearly. Then he turned and went back to his bed of needles. Circling it a few times to make sure it was as comfortable as possible he then laid down and closed his eyes. His ears however, remained vigilant in case anything else approached his little camp site.

She ran all the way back to the den and reported to Sliver Paw. The stranger was not a threat as far as they could tell. He was a strange creature to be sure but would not hurt the family. He still needed to be watched, and the Alpha gave the girl that job, she didn't understand why, "But he does not seen to be any danger, the pups will be safe as will the rest of the family." she huffed in confusion. The alpha looked to her, "You are not like the others my little two legs, You are not all Wolf, as you must know by now. From what you described to us, this male, at least partly, is like you. I have spoken with Red Tail and we have agree that it is best for you to learn of his ways." Fire Born looked down at herself, it was true that her skin was bare of fur and she had to protect it with other animals. She was scared from the years of trees and thorns catching her skin. she could not run as fast or howl as loud as her brothers and sisters but none had ever treated her as anything other then family. "I am wolf, but, I will go to this male and do as you say for you are my pack. I will stay tonight so that the young ones may know of me." she brushes past Silver Paw and nuzzles up to Red Tail in the den laying down with the new littler of pups. She falls asleep letting them absorb her scent and heat. She got up in the middle of the night unable to sleep. After moving a few of the young ones she stretches and leaves the den, She often went running while the sun was gone, it calmed her. As she took off through the trees she heard movement behind her but wasn't frightened, she knew it was her brother Blind Steer. He often followed her to play and watch out for danger. she calls to him to join her and they race off.

He was fast asleep and dreaming of being a moot participant. He danced naked around a campfire with dozens of others, drums beat out a rhythm in the background. An elder stands by reciting the Litany. Suddenly his stomach growled so badly it woke him from his dream. Stalks Alone stood to all four and shook his fur free of twigs and pine needles. Well, looks like Stalks Alone will stalk alone once again." he thought to himself. Then he trotted off to go hunt prey.

Stalks crept stealthily through the rocky terrain sniffing for any scents that he recognized as food. After several hours, and much stomach growling, he catches the scent of rabbit. Slowly he makes way toward the meal thinking to himself Should I eat it raw or cook it? Hmmm. He catches sight of the rabbit as it hops out from behind a rock outcropping. He drops into a low and slow crawl and stalks toward the over sized rodent. The rabbit freezes as its ear perk up and turn in his direction. Suddenly he pounces and his jaws snatch up the meat pop. As the taste of blood washes over his tongue, Stalks stomach growled again. Oh the hunger, screw cooking it that will take too long. he thinks to himself as he begins eating it right then and there.

The girl and wolf run for hours chasing each other and hunting small animals. Finally as the sun begins to rise and they are returning to the den, Blind Steer picks up the males scent and that of a hunt. "shall we track him sister? See what he was up to?" I think it will be enlightening. " he sniffs around and she agrees. As they are following the scent she hears the sound of something moving close by. "brother wait, your nose is better then mine. What do you smell? " she asks and points in the direction of the sound. Blind Steer turns and breaths then barks a laugh. "It seems we are being stalked. Very poorly if that male is trying to stay hidden. But I think he is smarter then that, I think he crossed the wind so we would catch him. Shall we play with him sister?" Fire Born yips and races off with Blind Steer right behind.

Stalks finished eating his rabbit, then shifted back to human form. He collected the remaining fur and such to use later. Looking up at the lightening sky he started making his way back to his camp site. Once there, he began breaking everything down in order to leave as little trace as possible. I hope they return before I leave. It would be really nice to have a chance to talk to them more. he thought to himself. The sun was now beginning to peek through the trees indicating it was getting on to late morning. Well, maybe they will find me as I continue my journey. He gathered what little belongings he had and double checked to make sure everything looked as much like he found it. Then he set out Eastward once again.

The two wolves tracked the male to the edge of their territory and kept playing with him by crossing his path, but finally, She stepped out into his line of sight and yipped at him. "your leaving?" She inched closer to him not sure if he would understand her.
